EV Popularity in China Accounts for 262,000 Fewer Deaths from Air Pollution

The results were a 23.8% reduction in PM2.5, and a 30% reduction in carbon monoxide, resulting in some 320,000 fewer deaths from air pollution.
Thank god biden put a 100% tariff on chinese EVs so that this wouldn't happen here.
Are we sure they aren't just weening off the genocide in Xinjiang and need an excuse for the change in demographic trends?
The air quality can be independently verified pretty easily, and we know that lower pollution reduces deaths.... so while your comment is trying to get a different point, it's not particularly good at doing so.
If my comment upsets you then it was intended to: fuck China. If they want this research to have legitimacy they should put the researchers' or institution's name in the headline instead of China.
Yes I absolutely can, and curiously here I am saying Fuck China and some demographic on the fediverse is REALLY upset about that.
It's literally coming from Goodnewsnetwork.org
It's not like this is the BBC here.
Well they can't eradicate the same race of people forever.
Look.
When you kill people, they die. Are you gonna kill them again? Because if China id doing that then they're more evil than I thought.
Not to mention, the Xinjiang part of this argument doesn't really make sense either. The Xinjiang stuff does not involve direct death (besides conditions being as horrible as prison) so that it is far worse than death: it kills the culture, is suspected of forcing organ donations, and institutes sterilization. Unfortunately for the Uyghurs, death is not involved here.
Oh it involves some amount of dorect death but actually the discussion is about birth rates.
As a whole it is not a serious comment claiming China is fudging nunbers, just sharing a reminder in case anybody almost saw China in a positive light for a moment.

I hope to see this happen in my area. The kind of emissions I'm stuck having to breathe in, especially while I'm walking on a sidewalk next to a main road, is awful. Unfortunately, it's going to take much longer for the switch to happen here.
